I was not very successful after high school and substance abuse took me during my Viet-Nam days. My life consisted of 15 years of incarceration (much like Mr Moore who appeared on the web page!) which brought me to my occupation today. I help men and women returning from prison re-integrate into the real world. Fifteen years ago I founded and operate a non-profit organization called Old Pueblo Community Services that provides transitional housing and substance abuse treatment in Tucson, Arizona.

I attended Torrance High for two years (65-66) and was basically a military brat being dragged all around. I always tried to fit in at Torrance High but never could as I was always known as the new kid on the block. Most of the students seem to have known each other all their lives and I felt not-a-part-of at that time. I was a good student but got in trouble outside of school. As I read some of the Torrance High and Torrance stories I am very moved. Thinking of the 60,s, always moves me today. When I visit the old neighborhood today I hardly know it. Some of the old landmarks are long gone.
